1:58am: Oh, Mai! More Avatar wank!
akapiratequeen makes a post to avatar_fans regarding her dislike of Zuko/Mai.

Mai. I just don't understand her appeal to Zuko. They are shown dating, even kissing, back when she is a bored, spoiled bee-otch with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever (she's not even drawn cute!). Sure, she has one great moment at the prison, but up until then she's killed and maimed loads of people and -- unlike Ty Lee -- never even seems to question it or show remorse. She says she was scared of Azula, but (also unlike Ty Lee) that fear is never shown -- she's just happy to see her when she shows up at the beginning because "nothing's happening around here." So someone please explain to me -- how does she end up with Zuko?

Answers start off fairly mildly, some saying they don't like Mai, others saying cute is subjective or 'you may not like her but Zuko does'.

Enter misora, a fairly well know Zutura shipper, with a couple of comm recs where the OP may find some like minded fans.-

I see this here and I share your pain. Commmme to our ship!! It's dark and intriguing! We have cookies.

aerodactylus does not appreciate the suggestion-

oh, please don't do that...shipping enticement is not nice.


From that point on, the thread crashes and burns, with accusations of pressuring fans into shipping, people not sharing cookies and denial that the cookies are desired!

All in all, a nice little wank.
